Video Shared on Social Media to Blackmail Wife’s Family

According to the complaint, the accused, identified as Shivam Sahu, a truck driver by profession, had been allegedly harassing his wife for dowry since their marriage. The woman’s family had repeatedly expressed their inability to fulfil his demands.

Taking advantage of the woman’s trust, Shivam reportedly recorded a private video of the couple and later circulated it on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram when his demands were not met. The act has sparked outrage, with the victim’s family calling it a deliberate attempt to defame and mentally torture her.

After the video surfaced online, the woman and her family reached the Rewa SP office, presenting the viral clip as evidence.
Rewa CSP Rajeev Pathak confirmed receiving the complaint.

“The woman has submitted a complaint regarding the viral video. An investigation is underway, and action will be taken based on the findings,”
Pathak said.

A WhatsApp chat attributed to Shivam has also surfaced, in which a person questions him about the video. Shivam allegedly responds:

“My mother-in-law said she would get her daughter remarried. Now let’s see who marries her after this.”

The message has further intensified the public anger surrounding the case.

Accused Absconding; Police Search On

Following the complaint, police teams have begun tracing the accused, who is currently absconding. The family fears social humiliation and has urged authorities to take swift and strict action.
